metsulfuron-methyl 600 g/kg

Selective herbicide of systemic effect intended for postemergence treatment of spring and winter wheat, spring and winter barley, oats, and common flax to control annual bilobate weeds, including 2,4-D and 2M-4X resistant weeds, and some perennial bilobate weeds, undesired annual and perennial bilobate and cereal weeds and Sosnovsky cow-parsnip on non-agricultural lands.

Advantages:

Wide range of action - inhibition of nearly all annual bilobate weeds and some perennial bilobate weeds;
Low consumption rate of the preparation;
Low cost of treatment rate per hectare;
High flexibility in terms of application timing;
Convenient packing - water-soluble bags;
Moderate toxicity to mammals, virtually harmless to bees;
Bio-efficiency of the preparation virtually does not depend on weather conditions.

Application technique. Mix preparation method
Prepare the mix immediately before use.

For ground treatment:
Fill water into a small vessel, add a bag of the preparation (25 g per I liter of water) packed in water-soluble film, stir until packing fully dissolves and a uniform suspension is formed.
Fill the sprayer tank with water to 1/2, then add the prepared moving suspension, top up with water until full and stir thoroughly.
Prepare the mix and fill the sprayer on dedicated sites that are disinfected afterwards.

For aerial treatment:
Prepare the mix using mechanical aid immediately before application. It is feasible to use fixed refilling stations SZS-10 and mobile units APT Temp and APZh-12.
Fill the refilling unit tank with water to 1/2, turn the agitator on, add the stock solution of the preparation and top up with water until full while continuously stirring it.
Preparation of the stock solution:
Fill the vessel with water to 2/3, add the preparation on the basis of 1 bag (50 g) per 1 liter of water, then stir the contents to produce a uniform suspension.
As the aircraft approaches the area of treatment, turn the hydraulic agitator on to additionally stir the mix (hydraulic agitator working time min. 2 minutes).
Mix preparation and filling into sprayers tanks of an An-2 plane shall be carried out with engine stalled and additional mix cleaning using ground-based filters. When using a Mi-2 helicopter provided with a dedicated refilling unit, the mix shall be loaded on a fenced site without main rotor stalling, but at reduced speed.
Recommended equipment:
For ground treatment, use boom sprayers OPSh-15-01, OP-2000-2-01 or similar.
For aerial treatment – An-2 plane or Mi-2 helicopter.

Attention! Due to high activity of the preparation at low consumption rates, the sprayer tank shall be thoroughly flushed before using a different preparation.

The best result and quickest herbicide action of the preparation is achieved when treating crop at earlier stages of weed growth.

Comply with crop rotation limitations.

For cereal crops. Treated areas shall be re-sown with spring cereal crops only. Beet, vegetables, sunflower and buckwheat shall not be sowed the next year after cereal and flax cropping – deep plowing is required at first. Sunflower and buckwheat shall not be sowed the next year, if soil pH is above 7.5 or after prolonged drought during the period from preparation application until planting of such crops.
For common flax. Treated areas shall be re-sown with spring cereal crops only. Beet and vegetables shall not be sowed the next year. Sunflower and buckwheat shall not be sowed the next year, if soil pH is above 7.5 or after prolonged drought during the period from preparation application until planting of such crops.

Phytotoxicity
When used in recommended quantities, the preparation does not suppress cereal crops and common flax. No adverse effect on plant growth and development was observed, and some experiments demonstrated higher yield of grain, seed and fiber product of common flax.

Recommendations on protection of valuable flora and fauna objects
The preparation is of low hazard to bees and fish – Hazard Class 3.

Basic provisions of the ‘Guidelines for preventing bee poisoning with pesticides’ and following environmental regulations:

Treat plants early in the morning and late in the evening.
For ground application:
treat plants at wind speed up to 4 or 5 m/sec;
protection boundary zone for bees – min. 2-3 km;
bee’s flight time limitation – 8-9 hours.
For aerial application:
treat plants at wind speed up to 0 or 1 m/sec;
protection boundary zone for bees – min. 5-6 km;
bee’s flight time limitation – 8-9 hours.
Warn apiary owners 4 or 5 days before treatment.
Do not use the preparation in private farms.
